About the GABC

The German American Business Council is a non-profit, non-partisan organization, dedicated to assisting German and American companies. Based in Washington DC, the GABC serves its corporate and individual members not only in the greater Washington area but also in other US states and Germany. The organization currently has over 70 members many of whom hold senior positions in their respective companies/ organzations.

"The GABC is a true German-American bridge builder — bringing together business leaders from both sides of the Atlantic."

—W. Ischinger, German Ambassador

An intiative and supported by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Washington and the German-American business community, the GABC is the prime organization where members from both countries can meet, exchange their views and get together with key business and political leaders from both sides of the Atlantic.

It is not only GABC’s goal to help its members to succeed economically in their particular fields by trying to collect and exchange expertise in all areas of bi-lateral trade and business, but its members are also enjoying a great variety of program events addressing economical and political issues as well as opportunities to get together socially.

Since its foundation in 2004 GABC’s continuous growth and expansion has already made it one of the most influential German-American institutions in the greater Washington area.
